Noise cancelling in ear headphones. I have had various Sony ones over the years but recently switched to some B&W PI8s as my last Sony ones the batteries had gone. Being able to take my own personal space with me in my pocket is a god send. Sure bigger headphones are better at noise cancelling but they are nowhere near as portable.
Cheapest would be a switch alignment comb for building plateless keyboards. Its basically a big comb that keeps switches aligned, sounds like you do not need one? Try soldering plateless especially if the switches do not have the extra alignment nubs.
Practical is my leatherman crunch. I have had it more than 25 years now and its locking jaws are amazing for its size. Got me out of so many holes with stuck nuts or nuts that need stucking. Bonus points for it supporting hex bits.
